Keiron Tourish - reporter for the north-west

Keiron started life as a "cub" reporter on the Derry Journal newspaper. He learnt his journalistic trade under a lot of the north-west's seasoned professionals.

He joined BBC Radio Foyle in 1990 and spent several years in a busy newsroom before becoming the region's television reporter for the BBC.

He has interviewed poets, presidents and prime ministers but nothing was as taxing as being chased by an ostrich - all in the line of duty.

Sport remains a passion and Keiron still likes to cover and play soccer.
